Once again, Sikh Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment from Slough, UK -Tan­man­jeet Singh Dhesi has raised con­cerns about the on­go­ing farm­ers’ protests on the out­skirts of Delhi. British Prime Min­is­ter Boris John­son con­tin­ues to get flak from his coun­try for mis­man­age­ment and in­de­ci­sive­ness. Sikhs in the United King­dom are an­gry that he will be the chief guest at the Re­pub­lic Day cel­e­bra­tions of In­dia on 26 Jan­u­ary this year.

TWEET­ING IN PUN­JABI AND ENG­LISH, TAN­MAN­JEET SINGH DHESI has ex­pressed his deep con­cerns and that of his con­stituents re­gard­ing the on­go­ing Farm­ers Protest on the out­skirts of Delhi.  Though he has spo­ken on be­half of his con­stituents of Slough, he has ac­tu­ally lent voice to the con­cerns of Sikhs liv­ing in the United King­dom and even the en­larged Sikh Di­as­pora world­wide.

As the British Prime Min­is­ter Boris John­son bru­tally failed to an­swer the query of Tan Dhesi on the floor of the Par­lia­ment and re­ferred to the farm­ers’ is­sue as an Indo-Pak con­flict, the tweet says that Mem­bers of Par­lia­ment, cut­ting across party lines, will seek his clar­i­fi­ca­tion about the Farm­ers Mor­cha and ef­forts that the British gov­ern­ment is con­tem­plat­ing to take up the is­sue with the British gov­ern­ment.

Mem­bers of the Sikh Di­as­pora are gear­ing up to demon­strate against In­dian em­bassies world­wide re­gard­ing the pro­posed visit of the British Prime Min­is­ter. Yes­ter­day, on the stage of the Farm­ers Mor­cha, a young ac­tivist ap­pealed to the Di­as­pora to be ac­tive on the is­sue.

Al­ready, in Italy and Ger­many, diplo­mats have found it dif­fi­cult to use the Gur­d­wara plat­forms to air the views of the gov­ern­ment of In­dia on the farm bills.

His tweet in Pun­jabi will res­onate around the Sikh world and this will en­able the Sikh Di­as­pora to gather sup­port for the move­ment against the British Prime Min­is­ter be­com­ing a chief guest on In­di­a’s Re­pub­lic Day.

Given agree­ment and pro­to­cols for Boris John­son’s Jan­u­ary In­dia trip fi­nalised, he’ll soon re­ceive cross-party let­ter, ask­ing to clar­ify his un­der­stand­ing of In­dia #Farm­er­sProtest and to raise with In­dian PM hopes of speedy res­o­lu­tion to this huge is­sue.
